Hot water machines for jobs large or small
Reeves Painting’s cleaning crews operate high performance industrial hot water machines. That line comes straight off their own pressure washing page, and it explains why this is not a weekend rental job. The same kind of equipment goes to a storefront walkway in Longview, a restaurant patio in Tyler or the back of a house in Lindale, and their page makes one promise for all of them: an experienced crew, on any project, large or small, commercial or residential.
The pitch is practical. Busy property owners already have enough to handle with the everyday maintenance of their homes and businesses, and Reeves Painting says its pressure washing experts take on the outdoor cleaning at cost effective prices that save time and money in the long run. Their own question is blunt: why struggle with scrubbing and do-it-yourself methods when you do not have to? Anyone who has knelt on a driveway with a stiff brush already knows which side of that question they are on.
Pressure is only half of the sentence on their page. The heading reads, experienced cleaning crews take the pressure off and apply it in the right places. Putting force where a surface can take it, and keeping it off everything that cannot, is the skill. The crew’s cleaning methods are described as producing outstanding results without harming the environment or disturbing surrounding property, which matters when the next thing over from the concrete is a flowerbed, a hedge line or a neighbor’s fence.
From truck bays to deck boards
Their commercial list is long on purpose. It starts with commercial and industrial complexes and business storefronts, entryways and walkways, then runs through signage and awnings, gutters and downspouts, and truck and trailer fleets. Roadways, ramps, parking lots and delivery truck bays are on it, along with outdoor restaurant patios and decks, valet and foyer areas, government buildings and industrial equipment. The full list is set out on the boards lower on this page, word for word.
The residential list is shorter and just as plain: home exteriors and apartment complexes, pools, fences and hardscapes, concrete, brick and wood surfaces, and deck washing and sealing. Deck washing and sealing appear on their page as one service, so a deck that has just been cleaned is not left waiting on a second company to come and finish it.
Every line on either list is a real surface they wash: concrete, brick and wood, truck and trailer fleets, storefronts and entryways, gutters and downspouts. For a property manager with a lot, a ramp and a delivery bay to keep up, or a homeowner with a fence, a pool deck and a driveway, that range under one phone number, (903) 360-3570, is the point.
Washing is where an exterior paint job starts
Pressure washing is also built into how Reeves Painting paints. Power washing is named on their interior services list and again on their exterior list, next to surface priming, sanding and scuffing, filling and repair, caulking and taping. Paint only holds on a clean surface, so on a house or a commercial building the washing comes before the sanding, and the priming comes after both.
The last line on that exterior list is sweeping and washing for prep and clean-up, and it covers both ends of a job. Dirt and loose material come off before the crew starts, and the work area is swept and washed down when they are done. Their exterior checklist also includes landscape, furniture and fixture protection, so the shrubs, patio set and light fixtures near a wall are covered before any water or paint moves.
If you are weighing washing alone against washing as the first step of a repaint, say so when you ask for the free written estimate. The crew that cleans the siding can be the crew that paints it, and the estimate lists materials, labor, pricing and work specifications either way.
